More on the history of NorthMarq Capital

<< Back to Corporate History

NorthMarq Capital originated in Minneapolis in the 1950s and at that time was known as Northland Mortgage. During the 1970s the commercial operations expanded to St. Louis and Kansas City; and in the early 1980s offices were opened in Denver and Phoenix. By the late 1980s an expansion on the West Coast occurred with offices opening in Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco. In 1998, we opened an office in Chicago, strengthening our Midwest presence.

In late 1998, Northland Financial Company was sold to Marquette Financial Companies, a privately held company owned by the Pohlad family based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and our name ultimately became NorthMarq Capital. In 2008, NorthMarq Capital became part of the newly formed Marquette Real Estate Group.

Through growth and acquisition, we have built a truly nationwide presence. Beginning 1998, several companies and operations have joined the NorthMarq organization:
